Description
Simple 100 ml oil collector to be used in conjunction with an air oil separator in a car engine crankcase ventilation system (e.g., https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7215408). Overall dimensions are approximately 110x60 mm; inlet outer diameter is 10 mm. It features measurement markings. Ensure to check collected oil level regularly, particularly after installation to get an idea of the collection rate so it does not overfill. Note that, in general, car engines exhibit a wide range of oil loss through the crankcase ventilation system. I would recommend this oil collector for small displacement naturally aspirated gasoline engines only. Also, I would not recommended it if it fills up more than twice during one engine oil change interval, which can be expected for older and/or well-used engines.
Material: Transparent (for level checking) and engine oil resistant filament.
Printing note: I managed to successfully print the model as it is, without any supports.
Model units: Millimeters (mm).
Infill: 100%
